Tamil asylum-seeker family to return to central Queensland in time for daughter’s birthday after they were detained on Christmas Island for three years

The Tamil family will return home to Biloela just in time for their daughter’s fifth birthday – the first year she will celebrate it outside of detention.

Priya and Nadesalingam Murugappan, and their two daughters Kopika, six, and Tharnicaa, four, will start their journey home to the central Queensland town on Wednesday.

Tharnicaa will turn five on June 12, with the family now able to return to the life they once had after spending three years in detention on Christmas Island.

The family had been fighting to stay in Biloela since they were removed from their home in 2018 after Priya’s bridging visa expired and Nades’ refugee status claim was rejected.

They were taken to a detention centre in Melbourne before going to Christmas Island.
